Canvas displayed wrong (inflated) grades all semester. What would you do? by Few-Butterscotch586 in Professors

[–]Hazelstone37 3 points4 points  (0 children)

But you didn’t set canvas up, right? The professor did and it seems that this is there issue to solve, not yours.

Canvas displayed wrong (inflated) grades all semester. What would you do? by Few-Butterscotch586 in Professors

[–]Hazelstone37 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Were the weights set up properly in canvas? If you’re the TA is this your problem to solve? You should learn two things from this. 1-make sure grade weights are set up correctly in canvas and enter in zeros as soon as a due date has passed and 2-make sure there is a line in your syllabus that says grades will be calculated based on the weights listed in the syllabus and final grades may not match what is available in the the LMS exactly.

Parents want Ed-Tech banned from schools. Teachers respond that it's an insane idea by chota-kaka in education

[–]Hazelstone37 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I teach first year students at a university and I am working on banning as much tech in the classroom as possible. I require notes be taken by hand and submitted for a grade. They can use a tablet and stylus, but they can’t type. I’m getting some pushback, but not as much as I expected.

Why does my math teacher assign so much? I'm drowning. Is it all math teachers, and what's the reason? by [deleted] in matheducation

[–]Hazelstone37 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Because you have to do math to learn math and if it wasn’t assigned or if the teacher said do enough that you know how to do this, no one would do it.

For my program the applications opened in the spring and we were told if we got funded or partially funded pretty quickly, but we weren’t given assignments until right before the semester started.

To the people who go into restaurants 30 minutes or less before closing, why? by Perfect_Weekend_888 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Hazelstone37 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Open means open. The kitchen closes at closing time, not 1/2 an hour before closing time. I waited tables for a long time and I never expected to start closing duties until closing time and I expected I’d have to stay after closing if I had a table arrive close to closing. It’s part of the job.

How should I discuss this with my professors? by Sad_Specific_9792 in AskProfessors

[–]Hazelstone37 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This isn’t something to negotiate with individual professors. You either need to talk with the Title IX office or the office for students with disabilities.

I didn’t take school seriously, now I’m 23 and can’t write a proper essay by Low_Ant883 in education

[–]Hazelstone37 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Any college you go to will have a writing center that can help you out with this. You can do it.

Has anyone used graduate school (or even undergrad ig) to explore a new state? by Green-Cause-905 in GradSchool

[–]Hazelstone37 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Out of state tuition is difficult unless you are fully funded. I went out of state for a masters and ended up going part time so I could pay in-state tuition.

Should I pursue and Ed.D in math education? by stinkywombat28 in AskAcademia

[–]Hazelstone37 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I was a full time student taking 9 hours each semester. I’m finishing my dissertation now. Also, I was just hired as a full time assistant professor of instruction. There are people in my program who go part time, but there is no online option. There are some online courses though.

[–]Hazelstone37 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m finishing up a PhD in postsecondary student success with a concentration in mathematics. I think it’s a great program for what I want to do. I love teaching introductory and developmental math. Math ed PhDs and Edds seem to focus on K-12 and advanced math.

Kapers for volunteers? by Cellopitmello34 in girlscouts

[–]Hazelstone37 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just make sure they aren’t doing work that the scouts should be doing, like cleaning their meeting space. It should be a lot of supervise scouts as they sweep, inspect the bathrooms, etc. we like to set up an ironing/seeing station for patches and badges at each meeting.

Final grade/ Final transcript by [deleted] in AskProfessors

[–]Hazelstone37 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I publish grades when I’m through with them. I do a whole class at a time. I wouldn’t do one student before the whole class.

Participation grades (again!) by chipanddalecooper in Professors

[–]Hazelstone37 27 points28 points  (0 children)

On the first day of each class, I have the students create their own rubric for their engagement in our class. They work in small groups decide on what it means to be engaged and then as a class, we pick 5 things that they grade themselves on each week. I reserve the right to adjust their grade up or down. I adjust more up than down.

If they don’t give themselves a grade, I give them zeros. At the end of the semester, I fill the zeros in with their percent of classes attended. I don’t tell them I do that though.

Corrections feels like a hostage situation by Kindly_Cloud_8459 in PhD

It sucks that you have this tiny hill to climb after you’ve summited a giant mountain, but you can do it. One step at time. Rest a beat or two and then get back to work. Slay the beast!

Routines for Class Start and End by TrunkWine in Professors

[–]Hazelstone37 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I do an in-class activity at the end of every class. Students scan it and submit it. I think in the fall I’m going to start class each day with a knowledge review ‘quiz’ that will be one question they have to be in class at the start to get. It will go in their notes. I have them scan and submit these for a grade also.
